stand back, let me come

Shen Tang selectively ignored the word "smuggling".

After all, the official practice of "smuggling" does not sound good when it is spread.

No matter how unrestrained she is and loves freedom, on the surface she still wants to cherish her feathers, pretending to cough "Why, don't want to"

She did a lot of homework on the smuggling of cloth, salt and food, and there were piles and piles of account books in the house of the land snake whose house was ransacked.After reading it, I realized that this business was originally firmly controlled by them.They paid benefits to the government office and Yongguguan to open up the relationship, and then the merchants under the door were responsible for the business.Merchants from other places want to get a share of the pie, so they have to pay several times and ten times to worship the dock with local snakes.

Lilan exploited layer upon layer.

Even so, a trip down can make a fortune.

This shows how big Lilan is.

Now, factory direct sales
Ah bah, the official office is over.

"No, no, no," the merchant shook his head faster than a rattle, stammering, "I think so, so much."

Shen Tang smiled, "Then you have a charter."

Although she chose the other party, but the ability of the salt seller was not up to her expectation, she didn't mind changing to a better one.

The merchant in front of him is the salt dealer who Shen Tang accidentally rescued from going to Shiwu. When Shen Tang returned to the pass, it was because of the blessing of his ancestors.

After returning to the pass, Shen Tang ignored him.

He could only stay and do odd jobs to make ends meet.

Prepare to save some money before going back.

This blow did not completely discourage the middle-aged him, because he knew that his family was still counting on him.As long as his life is not lost, relying on his accumulated contacts and business experience over the years, maybe he can make a comeback if he seizes a chance

With this belief in mind, we survived for two or three months.

but

He never expected the opportunity to come so quickly.

When he heard that the sheriff was looking for him, he was very frightened, and tremblingly recalled whether he had offended the other party in the past.Until he saw that unforgettable familiar face again, and heard the other party ask him if he was interested in going to Shiwu for business again, he was stunned.

Stupid is stupid, but he is not stupid.

In the blink of an eye, he had an idea.

He has been smuggling in Shiwu for many years, even the most dangerous western border. He dare not say how well he knows this business, but he can definitely be called an old horse who knows the way.Listening to the salt seller's eloquent talk, she became more confident, and her eyebrows gradually became brighter. Shen Tang raised his hand.

"I just ask you how much Lilan is"

The salt seller looked embarrassed, "It's hard to say."

Shen Tang was puzzled and asked, "Why is it hard to say?"

The salt seller had no choice but to speak carefully.

Everyone knows that salt is like gold.

Salt, like iron, is a royal court monopoly.

According to the law, toes were cut off for every catty of salt produced privately by the people, and the property was ransacked for a huge amount.However, the Geng Kingdom was in chaos, and the control of the royal court made it impossible for them to really hold this piece in their hands.As a result, the private private salt market is flooded, and prices vary.

Salt dealers used to buy low-priced private salt from everywhere, and strived for the largest salt in Lilan. The price is relatively low near the production area. After selling it elsewhere, Lilan easily doubled it by more than ten times. There are even salt shortages in some places, and the price can be doubled again. on many.

A catty of coarse salt can easily sell for hundreds of cash.

If it is the most salt-deficient place in Shiwu, some tribes trade directly with gold, or how about one tael of gold and one tael of salt
Even if Shen Tang knew that this business was profitable, she was shocked by what the salt seller said. After thinking about it, she ordered someone to bring something.

Shen Tang asked, "How about this salt?"

This is produced by salt wells.

The salt lump was sent to the government office immediately. She tried the taste, and finally it did not have the bitter taste of the coarse salt used before, and was closer to the table salt in memory.With a wave of my little hand, I divided the salt lump into two parts, and sent a small part to the canteen of the government office, so that the chef in charge of the spoon should not feel sorry for the salt, no matter how bitter it is, the tongue will be used for cooking in the future

The remaining income from the government office is divided into the official salary list.

The previous coarse salt was replaced with refined salt, and a very generous salary increase doubled the weight of salt in the salary.If the official's family has a large population and consumes a lot of salt, the official can use the usual overtime hours to exchange for a certain amount of refined salt.

The salt seller uncomprehendingly lifted the covering silk and satin.

He was completely stunned at a glance, because the salt in front of his eyes was white and crystal clear, and the grains were distinct.With courage, he carefully twisted a few and put them in his mouth.The salt grains actually melted in the mouth, with moderate salinity, not as bitter as he expected, but with a bit of umami.

Better than the fine salt he's ever tasted

“Absolutely top notch”

The salt dealer must be sure of the value of this salt

"Shen Jun, I dare you, what is the cost of this thing?"

"The cost has not been calculated yet, but it is not difficult to make them, and the output is not too small, and the cost is not too high. I have no other requirements, as long as you sell them to ten Wu, I will not let you go for nothing For one trip, the caravan guards, food and clothing, and even goods are arranged by the official office, and you will be promised [-]% of Lilan for your hard work once you go to the merchants."

"what do you think"

Shen Tang originally wanted to give [-]%.

But the value of this salt dealer was not half of Xu Jie's, and considering Li Lan from Shiwu, he changed it to [-]%.

Giving [-]% is not considered stingy.

Really not stingy.

"Yes, yes, yes, I can guarantee that it will be completed." He was afraid that if he was a second late, Shen Tang would change his mind.

Feeling conscientious, his parents are not as generous as Shen Tang, and he just stuffed wealth into his mouth
Although there is only [-]% of Lilan, but he made more money than he used to because he was a businessman, and all he earned was hard-earned money. He needed to bring the hired guards to collect salt everywhere, and he arrived there after a lot of hardships. In Longwu County, they took out a lot of real gold and silver to pay homage to the local snakes, and got a special "Salt Citation Document" from them, and only let Yongguguan pass.

Entering Shiwu territory, you have to spend money to manage it, tense your nerves every day, hoping that you will be lucky and not be robbed by refugees.

After a trip, I have to do some favors when I come back.

Compared with what he earns, there is not much left in his own hands, but Shen Jun directly deducted many unnecessary expenses for him.

Longwu County belongs to Shen Jun.

With just one piece of paperwork, Yongguguan has to let it go.

The key is that this is an exclusive business.

There are no competitors, only you have salt in your hands, a tribe that lacks salt and lacks madness, does not grab salt and grab the head

The salt seller was satisfied, and Shen Tang was also satisfied. She finally saw the dawn of being debt-free and light, and a little joy was added to her face. It only takes two catties, and you can gather all the men and horses to go on the road."

The salt seller went down thankfully.

When Gu Chi heard about this, he frowned.

"One percent, isn't that too much?"

It's nothing to give Xu Jie [-]% Lilan, this person can still come in handy in the future, maintaining the relationship is not a loss, and the big and small forces in the pass are fighting, the private salt market is chaotic, Lilan is not as good as Shiwuda, and there is no strong network of contacts. Don't even think about making money safely.

Forty percent is reasonable.

But a mere private salt merchant

Giving [-]% is too high.

"It's a bit more, but worth it."

Shen Tang laughed and said, "The right is to buy his experience. Except for him, the others are ours. It is convenient to steal a teacher. With his familiarity with Shiwu, he can also act as a guide, leading our young students to familiarize themselves with Shiwu. Wu is not right"

Shen Tang didn't intend to let the salt dealer continue to work, and after his own business became familiar, he would cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Anyway, the initiative is on your side.

Shen Tang put down his pen and saw a sealed letter in Gu Chi's hand, his eyes lit up and he said "Written Note"

Gu Chi nodded, "Just arrived."

Fresh and hot.

He wanted to know the answer immediately, so he acted as a messenger and personally escorted the letter to Shen Tang.

"I'll see."

Open it, ten lines at a glance.

Shen Tang's brows were filled with joy visible to the naked eye, and he smiled lightly and said, "I'll just say it, the text notes are very popular with me."

Xu answered.

In order to show her sincerity, the silkworm seed leaves she needed were delivered twice as much, and a high price was added on the basis of the friendship price.If it wasn't for the fear of losing people's tongue, Xu Jie even wanted to give it away for nothing.

However, it was enough for Shen Tang to see his attitude.

Gu Chi agreed with this, but he was slightly displeased, "This person is very knowledgeable, but he is too tactful."

This is true for Wu Xian, let alone Shen Tang

Shen Tang laughed at him.

"You're a bit of a scumbag."

"Scumbag"

She explained, "Those who play with other people's feelings and are not loyal, men are scumbags, and women are scumbags."

Gu Chi showed the expression of a subway grandfather, and said wrongly, "Chi, why are you playing with Xu Wen's feelings?"

Shen Tang finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Wen Zhu's attitude is a bit ambiguous. He is like a person who has a regular partner. He has a deep affection with Wu Zhaode, but he can't stand the offensive of a third party and has been shaken several times. Well, let's It's the third person."

"We obviously benefited from him and hoped that his every move would be as we expected, but you felt that his vacillating behavior was a bit disloyal and didn't like it. You see, does this look like a scumbag? Use your strength to fight Seduce a good family, wait for the good family to obey, and despise the good family for not wearing a tight waist"

Gu Chi ""

It's okay if the lord doesn't say anything, this one

I seem to be a bit scumbag.

Shen Tang sighed with emotion, "A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, and there is no perfect person in the world. Annotations are just ordinary people, so there is no need to demand anything from him. Besides, he was originally under Wu Zhaode's account, and it is really not easy to help us so much. As It's not easy for the head of the Xu family to worry about the whole family."

She quite likes this money-spreading boy, who talks less and does more work. If he hadn't belonged to Wu Zhaode early, she really wanted to wield a hoe to dig the wall.Moreover, her cousin is still working under her tent, and the child is still working hard.

When Gu Chi heard this, his face was taught.

"My lord's heart is not as good as Chi."

The production and sales of salt are generally arranged clearly, and the next thing is to wait for the gold to fly into her pocket. Find it all"

"Find all."

Terraced houses dedicated to silkworm rearing have been built for a while.

"A skilled craftsman"

Gu Chi said, "It was mentioned two days ago that everyone is already on standby at the artisan workshop near the government office."

Why look for skilled craftsmen
Naturally, in order to optimize the textile machinery, it only needs to be slightly improved to be more efficient than the current machine.

She just wants to "seek trouble for nothing" now.

Let everyone in Longwu County roll up
